Anyone who uses Petsmart's veterinary plan should be aware that they pump every possible vaccine into cats.it is most important to specify in the beginning which vaccines you want and especially which ones you do NOT want. My friend uses that plan because it does save a lot of money..she brought her two cats in, and she assumed incorrectly that they would get the same vaccines as the ones she specified at the last time, NOT! They got FeLV/FIV, God-know what else..she was furious! She always tells them ahead of time that they are strictly indoor cats!

It turned this whole house upside down. i have never experienced anything like that in all my years of having cats. Then i was reading in Dr Pitcairn and also Dr. halmiltons books about that very same thing happening to cats after being vaccinated. i was suprised to see it in words!! It was just weird. Anyone else have this happen? marcia On Fri, Aug 26, 2011 at 1:59 PM, Beth <create_me_...@yahoo.com> wrote: I don't vaccinate FeLV kitties.

Just plain acidophiolus, will do, too. And if the cats happen to like yogurt, even better - but make sure you get real yogurt with real acidophilus, not some fake sweetended yogurt..... -----Original Message----- From: felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org [mailto:felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org] On Behalf Of Beth Noren Sent: Thursday, August 25, 2011 9:34 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Being blunt Hi Marcia, I know popular opinion is to limit antibiotic use, because it can kill the good bacteria in the gut, but in my limited experience I prefer to leave immune-compromised kitties on it longer. I had one little FeLV pos kitten with a URI that had a 10 day regimen of Clavamox. She was vaccinated a few days later, as she seemed to have cleared the URI. Big mistake, I didn't know any better. The URI was not cleared, just masked by the antibiotic, it came back, lost her to FIP a couple of weeks later. When her positive brother started getting sick soon after, he got prednisolone twice for fever and was on clavamox for months (5, 6?) just in case. He never had any bowel problems from it. My vet finally said she couldn't in good conscious keep prescribing it for such a healthy cat. Had I left his sister on it (and not vaccinated so young) I feel her immune system may have been less exhausted and better able to fight the corona virus that turned into FIP and killed her.
